Philippines Domain Names (.com.ph, .ph, .net.ph .org.ph)

If you are planning to buy a local domain name in the Philippines, here are some recommendations why you need to buy now.

The reason why it is important to purchase a local domain(.ph) is to establish local credibility. It also helps boost your marketing strategy in the internet and also in the search engines. It is the best way to establish an organization, company, and business brand in the Philippines. Since common domains(.com, .net, .org) are very popular, and many domain users are registering to domains like these, it is really hard for someone to get a domain name exactly to the brand name you want to establish especially if that brand is used worldwide. Some domain brands can’t be registered due to copyright and “all rights reserved” policy but we still believe that there are still brands where you can register locally in the Philippines.   Local domains are a bit expensive because they are selling them for a cost of $35 USD a year compared to a normal domain that will cost you for only for 9$-12$ a year. This is not actually a big issue especially if you are starting to create and promote a brand that would earn millions in the Philippines.

We will share to you how you can be able to purchase a local domain here in the Philippines and how to host this domain to other servers. We believe that hosting in .dot.ph is a bit expensive compared to other servers available in many locations around the world. We have actually done this with some of our few clients.
